How to sketch?

Well last time some girls asked me about how to sketche after they saw many amazing illustrations i presented, so as i promised here it is!! Thank you to the inscredible illustrator Alfredo Cabrera for his advices.
We'll take example of this model in the catwalk:








1st step: Consider the silouhette and what pose will show it best, it will depend on the clothes that your model will wear, then start drawing the basic lines, like it shows here:


2nd step: You are not technically drawing yet, so here you will have to start creating the volumes on the model, like we see in the picture:




3rd step: Start by dressing the model, as simply as possible, because the details will be done later, as you can see here:






4th step: Here we start putting the colours, and this is what will create the shapes, fill in the blanks like you are making large lines with the marker, or pencil, don't mind by filling all the blanks, you can leave some it will add volume.
5th step: Here you will create the shadows, to make it as close as possible to the near version, punch up textures and add prints, all this with simple pens, believe it or not, this is what makes the difference in artists's draws, some of them like using soft pens and the others like a more graphic design, like it shows under here:




Hope you liked the post and I also wish you will try to make some sketches.
Send me all your work in comments, I really want to see your talented draws :D
